Hello all,
Calling the 3 speed transmission/transfer case gurus! I recently rebuilt both units. I replaced the ball & tapered roller bearings. seals. gaskets, and synchronizers. I have driven maybe 100-200 miles since and decided that the whine I have did not improve and thus I ordered a new...
Up for grabs is a pair of Red lap belts from my 1968 FJ40. They are dated 1968. They are in fair condition with only minor fraying in one spot, approx 1" by 1/4". Chrome is in great shape on the buckles. $80 plus shipping from Denver. Or make me an offer!
Just finished rebuilding my 3 speed trans and t-case. I'm wondering if anyone has felt any huge benefits from using Redline fluids in their transmissions? Is it worth the $15-$20 a quart?

Good afternoon my cruiser brethren,
The only place I've been able to find the VIN on my 05/1968 is on the passenger side frame rail. Are there any other locations where the VIN would be located? I know some had stamped plates on the dash pillar and some on the cowl by the blower motor but...

Any body have a vendor for the o-ring that seals the locking hub knob to the hub body on the selectro hubs? Mine seem to leak some grease out and get gross. Then I have to engage/disengage them only when a shop rag is available
Alright cruiser gurus...
Did all 1958 - 10/1969 cruisers come with the bib marker lights? My '68 does not have them, nor does not have the stamped recesses or holes for them. Does that mean my bib is from a later truck or was it just an option to have bib lights?

Hello all,
I just started tearing down the cargo area of my cruiser to paint it red like the dash and front doors. I installed a factory roll bar out of a newer cruiser into my 1968 back in 2007. After removing the roll bar and seats and all, i noticed that under the roll bar mounting flanges...
